Web belts.

Anyone out there have any good suggestions for a solid web belt?

I was using MH's Double Back for awhile and I liked it being it was comfortable under a pack but the web belt was what one would call less than rigid and developed the bacon effect in a major way.

Thanks everyone.

Got my Bison at REI. They're stiff, have different widths, flat slide buckles, and you won't have to take out a 3rd mortgage to buy one.

Cool, thanks jad. I have looked at those. May have to take a trip to a local REI and check those out.

If you look for that particular buckle style, it does not slip at all.

I just want something that is low profile. I am not necessarily looking for a certain type of buckle. 

Web belts can come in handy for things like carring firewood/gathering kindling for shelter sites that have pre-made areas to burn, etc.

I actually used my MH on a pack that I was testing for review when the panel zipper malfunctioned half way into an 80 miler.

I was definitely glad I had it. 

Croakies belts, artisan buckle, have worked well for me. Webbing is fairly stiff.

Patogonia Friction belt. bulletproof and does exactly what you are describing.

This is what cops like to wear, it can also serve in an emergency rappel:

Or for Seattle cops, a good strap to beat the public with.

Rick, there is a belt, this one, a no brainer.  Used for something else but built for your concern.

Thanks for all of the mentions so far. I am looking into all of them.

Please feel free to post more. 

Options are a good thing.

I have tried quite a few, but have defaulted back to the very cheap BDU belt. Not the very wide Web/pistol belt, but just the regular issue web belt for normal wear with BDU pants.

I want to second what Rambler said.I have 2 web belts I use for my work pants.My hiking convertable pants have built in belts.

a belt made of Copperhead skin would suit you better, Rick...
